Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ripe mango
- 1 banana
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/4 cup granola
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Peel the ripe mango and cut it into chunks. Set aside half of the mango chunks for topping the smoothie bowl later.
- Peel the banana and slice it into smaller pieces for easier blending.
- In a blender, combine the mango chunks (excluding the reserved ones), banana slices, and coconut milk. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a little more coconut milk until you reach your desired texture.
- Once blended, taste the smoothie mixture. If you’d like it sweeter, you can add a drizzle of maple syrup or agave nectar, but this is optional since the fruit is naturally sweet.
- Pour the smoothie mixture into two bowls, dividing it evenly between them.
- Now, it’s time to add your toppings. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of granola on each smoothie bowl for added crunch.
- Top each bowl with the reserved mango chunks and a tablespoon of shredded coconut. Feel free to get creative with your toppings; you can also add slices of banana, nuts, or seeds if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious mango smoothie bowl as a refreshing breakfast or snack!
Tips
- Choose Ripe Fruits: The secret to a creamy, sweet smoothie bowl is using perfectly ripe mangoes and bananas. Look for mangoes that are slightly soft when gently squeezed and bananas with a few brown spots.
- Texture Matters: For the ideal consistency, freeze your banana beforehand. This will give your smoothie bowl a thicker, almost ice cream-like texture without adding ice.
- Blending Technique: Blend your ingredients in stages. Start with the softer ingredients and gradually add coconut milk to achieve the perfect smooth consistency.
- Customize Your Toppings: While the recipe suggests granola and shredded coconut, don't be afraid to experiment! Try chia seeds, sliced almonds, fresh berries, or a drizzle of honey for added excitement.
- Serve Immediately: Smoothie bowls are best enjoyed right after preparation. The fresh, cold texture is what makes them so delightful, so serve and eat promptly.
- Make It Instagrammable: Arrange your toppings in a visually appealing way. A little effort in presentation can make your smoothie bowl look as good as it tastes!
